FD2R Founders & Program Managers

We are excited to have the opportunity to share a little bit about ourselves as the Founders of From Devastation To Restoration, (FD2R) A Nonprofit organization that will operate affordable & safe Shared Housing Homes in Georgia and Florida. We are Gloria and Marcus Simmons, and we are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of others.



We’ve always been drawn to social and community issues, and after serving the needs of our local Community for the last 27+years in Real Estate, Community Service, and various Nonprofit organizations, we wanted a more meaningful way to have impact on the lives of people. Our vision and desire were to create a safe and supportive space for individuals facing housing instability, particularly those who are vulnerable or marginalized.



That's why we were drawn to the concept of creating beautiful Shared Housing Homes. We constantly saw a need in our community for a place where individuals who faced challenges such as housing insecurities, mental health issues, crisis situations, and related issues could feel safe, valued, supported, empowered, and restored. Our Shared Housing will provide a stable and caring environment where residents can work towards their goals and build a brighter future for themselves.



As the Founders of this nonprofit organization, we are deeply committed to our mission of improving the lives of those we serve. We will work tirelessly to ensure that our Shared Housing Homes provides the highest quality of care and support possible. Whether it's developing new programs and services, fundraising, or working directly with our residents, we will always be focused on making a difference.
